2016 Cadillac CTS-V

The 2016 Cadillac CTS-V debuts at the North American International Auto Show, Jan. 13, 2015, in Detroit. This hot rod "Caddy" can roar down the country club driveway at 201 miles per hour, ABC News' Andy Fies reports. The roll-out of the Cadillac is on trend with the release of other powerful performance cars. The automakers’ power move is due in part to a “discernible trend in higher sales for cars like Lamborghini, Jaguar and Ferrari," Bill Visnic, senior editor of Edmunds.com says. But he points out that cars like the Ford GT and Shelby are “halo” cars that garner a lot of attention for automakers but have puny sales compared to their mainstream vehicles.

Chevy Corvette Z06

Chevrolet reveals the new Corvette Z06 at the 2015 North American International Auto Show at Cobo Center, Jan. 12, 2015 in Detroit. Overall, car brands' emphasis on car performance reflects “advances in engine and transmission technology which makes performance far more accessible price-wise,” senior editor of Edmunds.com Bill Visnic says, and allows decent fuel economy along with more power. Throw in the psychological factor of a “post-recession willingness to indulge ourselves”, says Visnic, and you have the recipe for what may be a successful power trip by the automakers.

New Ford GT

Pounding metal music greeted the heavy metal rolled out by Ford Motor Company, Jan. 12, 2015, at the Detroit auto show: a new supercar that looks more like a European exotic than a homegrown original. With its dramatic swoops and scoops, the Ford GT is a two-seat speedster, capable of more than 600 horsepower. The car in fact has a racing heritage: it is a rebirth of the GT line responsible for four consecutive wins at the famous 24 hours of Le Mans race back in the 1960s and last sold in 2006. The GT will go on sale in 2016 for an as yet undisclosed price. But Ford says it will compete with Lamborghini and Ferrari models that sell in the $250,000 range.

The 'Affordable' Chevy Bolt

The Chevrolet Bolt EV electric concept vehicle is driven onto the stage at a presentation during the North American International Auto Show, Jan. 12, 2015, in Detroit. While performance cars headlined the show's first day, green technology, the star of auto shows in the recent past, did not completely take a back seat. GM made a splash with the debut of an all-electric concept car: the Chevrolet Bolt. With a range of 200 miles on a single charge, industry insiders say the Bolt could go into production in 2017 with a price tag of around $30,000 to $35,000. And Chevy wheeled out a remodeled version of its hybrid Volt that can travel 420 miles on a refill with its combination of battery and gas power -- 40 miles more than the current model.
